To start my research into horror films, I listed a bunch - both 'classic' and 'modern' - alongside their directors so I could possibly find a trend in directors or in similarities between titles. The reason I did this is so I could possibly use some techniques from the films I wrote down in my own piece (e.g. 2007's Paranormal Activity revolutionised the use of 'found footage' style filming and I have considered using this in my own project). I also wanted to find a trend of directors so I could choose some to study; I decided eventually after following the trend that I would study Alfred Hitchcock, Wes Craven, Eli Roth, James Wan and George A. Romero. All of these are renowned horror directors that have made their individual mark on the horror genre, whether it is due to revolutionising certain camera techniques like Hitchcock or being credited for creating a sub-genre within horror like Roth.
